Chapter 324 Revitalized
Gan Ning's depressed mood is closely related to Liu Zhiye.
Before, it was okay for Jenny to appear out of nowhere, because they were old acquaintances.
Although Gan Ning felt that Liu Zhiye must be hiding something from her, she did not choose to break the window paper. She just silently kept a wary eye on Zhen Ni and secretly held her breath in her heart.
However, when she later discovered that Qin Huairu and Liu Zhiye had a sudden emotional entanglement, Gan Ning could no longer remain silent.
Liu Zhiye also felt deeply wronged, he had nothing to do with Qin Huairu, but this woman acted as if she was his, and her behavior became more and more outrageous.
An angry Liu Zhiye secretly warned her several times, but Qin Huairu was like someone who had opened up her Ren and Tong meridians and had achieved success in her cultivation. She still acted as she pleased and was shameless.
For a moment, Liu Zhiye felt particularly troubled. Qin Huairu's problem gave him a headache.
He also couldn't take any drastic action against Qin Huairu. After all, she hadn't broken any law, nor had she done anything particularly excessive. She just had some moral flaws.
Therefore, Liu Zhiye could only choose to stay away from her, try to live in the courtyard less often, and avoid too much contact with Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu's abnormal behavior naturally did not escape the attention of the neighbors. Her attentiveness to Liu Zhiye made people speculate about the relationship between the two.
The aunts in the compound gathered together and started talking about it. Curiosity drove them to find out what secrets these two people had.
"Hey! Have you heard? The young widow of the Jia family is in love with Liu Zhiye!" An old lady told her old sisters mysteriously in a very low voice.
The news spread quickly in their small circle and caused quite a stir.
Another auntie retorted in disbelief: "Don't talk nonsense, Liu Zhiye is a gentleman, how could he be related to Qin Huairu?"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense about this matter. The family tradition of the Liu family in the East Courtyard has always been very upright..." The other aunts also expressed their agreement.
"Oh my, you guys are the good guys and I'm the bad guy, is that okay? Let me tell you, I saw with my own eyes that Qin Huairu quietly followed Liu Zhiye in the dark..."
"Wow! There is such a thing, this is impossible, right? Did you see it wrong..."
Later, the neighbors in the entire compound became suspicious of Liu Zhiye. Even Zhuzi, Xu Damao and other close friends jokingly asked about his relationship with Qin Huairu.
Although Liu Zhiye strongly denied it and resolutely clarified the relationship between him and Qin Huairu.
But there are always some people who choose to believe on the surface, but secretly doubt behind the scenes. This contradictory attitude is like a walker in the fog, making it difficult to understand.
Therefore, these rumors gradually reached Gan Ning's ears. At first, she did not take these rumors to heart, after all, she knew Liu Zhiye's character very well.
However, gossip can melt gold, and constant criticism can destroy a person. When her "confidant" also hinted to her that she should be wary of Qin Huairu, Gan Ning suddenly felt heavy-hearted and began to doubt Liu Zhiye.
Liu Zhiye knew it very well without asking any more questions. It must be the "traitor" Wang Qiuju who told Gan Ning the secret.
Feeling that she could no longer endure it, Gan Ning finally exploded...
Gan Ning, gentle as water on the outside, hides a toughness that is unknown to others. She is kind to others, but she is not weak and can be bullied. Once her bottom line is touched, her anger will erupt like a volcano, and no one can stop it.
Moreover, Gan Ning has been in leadership positions for many years. If he did not have some dignity and temper, how could he make his comrades convinced and work in unison?
Gan Ning's eyes were red as she questioned Liu Zhiye without disguising, "Tell me, what is the secret relationship between you and this bitch?"
Liu Zhiye defended himself with all his might, and he swore firmly: "I swear, I have nothing to do with Qin Huairu. I assure the old lady that everything is just a misunderstanding of me..."
How could Gan Ning easily believe what he said? Seeing that he would not cry until he saw the coffin, she said fiercely: "Okay, you don't want to say it, right? I will go and ask her myself. Is it because she has no man and wants to steal other people's men?"
Liu Zhiye couldn't just let her go to Qin Huairu to make trouble. If she did, he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly. It would be like mud falling on his crotch - it would be shit anyway.
"Hey... Hey! Xiao Ning, listen to me..."
"Let me go, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen..."
"Okay! Don't get excited, I'll tell you the whole story..." Liu Zhiye had no choice but to tell Gan Ning the truth. As for whether she believed it or not, she could only leave it to fate.
Gan Ning's expression suddenly changed, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Okay... There really is something going on between you two! Humph, I want to hear what tricks you can come up with."
Liu Zhiye was forced to confess everything. Qin Huairu had tried to seduce him and made advances to him many times, but he firmly rejected her.
However, Qin Huairu was very resilient and did not give up, continuing to harass him. Now he told all these tangled past events one by one.
After hearing Liu Zhiye's words, Gan Ning was struck by lightning and froze in place. She believed what Liu Zhiye said, and it was because she believed him that she felt that her worldview was completely destroyed.
"She...she is so unscrupulous and shameless that she dares to do such a despicable thing? It's unbelievable."
Liu Zhiye sighed with lingering fear: "It was beyond my expectation that a person's ambition, if it exceeds her own ability, could drive her to do such a crazy thing..."
"She's not in love with me, she just wants to live a good life with me. She would do the same if it were someone else. She's obsessed..."
Gan Ning felt a little relieved, at least Liu Zhiye didn't take the initiative to cheat. However, she still had some doubts: "Qin Huairu has a good figure, with a protruding front and a curved back. She took off all her clothes and got into your bed. I don't believe you can still remain indifferent?"
Liu Zhiye smiled bitterly. He knew that once he told the truth, no one would believe him.
The reason why Liuxia Hui is famous throughout the ages is that he is rare. Everyone has desires, but Liuxia Hui is able to transcend desires, which is what makes him special.
Although Gan Ning was skeptical about Liu Zhiye's self-control, she gave up looking for trouble with Qin Huairu. However, her heart was full of resentment towards Qin Huairu.
…………
Liu Zhiye's family all returned to Liujiazhuang, so he simply hid back there as well, so that he could take care of Gan Ning while avoiding Qin Huairu's entanglement.
Qin Huairu's determination put Liu Zhiye in a dilemma. He could neither catch her nor hit her, and she even ignored her cold face.
"Anyway, you've seen me naked and given me money, so I'm yours from now on..."
She was like a piece of stone, tenacious and unshakable, leaving Liu Zhiye somewhat helpless. Qin Huairu just wanted to rely on him, like a vine entangled with a tree, unable to get rid of it no matter what.
Liu Zhiye felt worried when he thought about it. He originally thought that Qin Huairu, the character in the original drama, although frivolous in behavior, at least still knew how to maintain her dignity.
She flirted with the men only out of helplessness, not because she really wanted to do anything out of the ordinary.
But now it seems that his idea was too naive. Qin Huairu's behavior did not seem as simple as he imagined.
It's not that she doesn't want to do anything out of the ordinary, it's just that she hasn't met the man for whom she's willing to give everything.
Otherwise, just like Sha Zhu, he also waited for a long time before finally spending a night with her.
Gan Ning glanced at Liu Zhiye and found that he was lost in thought, with a dull look in his eyes. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
Liu Zhiye came back to his senses and responded calmly: "Oh, nothing, just thinking about some work."
Gan Ning frowned slightly, and said with a hint of teasing, "Isn't that right? Are you thinking about that vixen again?"
Liu Zhiye was furious. "Gan, you are meaningless now. I have come this far. What else do you want?"
Gan Ning didn't buy his tricks at all. "Look, you have nothing to hide. Why are you so anxious?"
Liu Zhiye said aggrievedly: "I...I, I won't argue with you..."
Gan Ning wisely stopped when she saw the opportunity, gently raised her arms, and looked like she was ready to be supported at any time. Seeing this, Liu Zhiye immediately reached out his hand and carefully supported her, as if he was serving a noble "Lao Foye", meticulous and not daring to slack off.
"Let's go! Xiao Liuzi, let's go pick up the princess from school!"
"Yes! Let's go!" Liu Zhiye also started to act. The "big princess" was of course Xiaoxian, a little girl who was already four years old this year, very smart and clever.
Liu Zhiye felt that leaving Xiaoxian alone at home was a waste of her talent, so he discussed with his family, "Hey! Let's send her to kindergarten!"
Except for the child's grandmother Deng Ru who was reluctant to let go, the old man, the child's grandfather and mother were all very supportive.
So, at the beginning of spring, Liu Zhiye sent Xiaoxian to the village kindergarten. He had thought that he should be prepared for the child to cry for a few days.
However, unexpectedly, the little girl performed very well in such an environment. She was full of joy and couldn't wait to go to kindergarten to play with other children every day.
The two of them strolled leisurely towards the campus, and the rural scenery along the way became their best companion.
"Wow!" Gan Ning suddenly pointed at a house on the side of the road with a look of surprise on his face, "Zhiye, look, whose house is this? They actually built a two-story building."
Liu Zhiye looked and saw that the house was under construction in full swing. Bricks, stones, cement and steel bars were intertwined together, like a vivid architectural painting.
No wonder Gan Ning was surprised. Living in a two-story building in those days was undoubtedly a symbol of extreme luxury, enough to arouse the curiosity and amazement of passers-by.
However, in other places, if you hear that ordinary people can afford to build a luxurious two-story villa, it would be as unbelievable as a fairy tale.
However, in Liujiazhuang, a miracle was born. For a family with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan, it was easy to build such a house with two years of savings.
Not only that, there are many families like Liujiazhuang, who also have the dream of building a new home.
In this village full of enthusiasm for life, many families are planning to renovate or build new houses to improve their living environment and embrace a better future.
"Ten Thousand Yuan Village" is the new and resounding title of Liujiazhuang, symbolizing that every household here has entered the ranks of ten thousand yuan households.
In this place full of economic vitality and opportunities, the villagers are writing their own wealth legend together with their hard work and wisdom.
There is an old saying that goes "The emperor's daughter will never have trouble finding a husband", and the young people in Liujiazhuang are facing this great situation.
Not only did the young people in the neighborhood yearn for the comfortable life in Liujiazhuang, but even ordinary people in the city had the idea of marrying their children to Liujiazhuang.
In their eyes, this is far more attractive than pursuing a stable job or becoming an eighth-level worker.
Liujiazhuang now seems to have become an ideal home, a place where people can get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a good life.
For those who cannot integrate into Liujiazhuang through marriage, they can only choose to stay in Liujiazhuang and make a living by working.
However, they are unable to enjoy some of the welfare benefits enjoyed by local villagers.
They can only choose to rely on their own hands and sweat, and pay silently. They still hold on to their dreams and hopes, and look forward to finding their home in Liujiazhuang one day.
In Liujiazhuang, every family can now own a bicycle, and some families even have more than one.
These bicycles are not just a means of transportation, but an integral part of their daily lives.
Whether in the early morning breeze or in the evening glow, you can always see villagers busy riding their bicycles.
In addition to bicycles, families in Liujiazhuang are generally equipped with radios.
These radios have become an important window for them to understand information from the outside world. Whether it is news, weather forecasts, or entertainment programs, they can add a lot of color to their lives.
What is even more gratifying is that some families also have electric fans. In the hot summer, the coolness brought by electric fans has become a weapon for them to escape the heat.
Whenever night falls, the family sits in front of the electric fan, enjoying the breeze it brings and talking about what they have seen and heard during the day. The comfort and satisfaction are beyond words.
You read that right, it is indeed an electric fan. In the 1960s, the domestically produced Watson brand electric fan had already made its mark.
However, for most families, it is not an ordinary item, but an unattainable luxury.
The price of a Watson electric fan is about 300 yuan, which is already a considerable expense.
Moreover, a special ticket is required to purchase the fan, making it even more difficult to obtain.
In this era, owning a Watson brand electric fan is undoubtedly a symbol of identity and status. It brings not only cool wind, but also a sense of honor and pride.
In addition, almost every household in Liujiazhuang has a sewing machine. Except for watches which are still worn by a few young people, the "three major items" that became popular in the late 1970s are now owned by every household.
The villagers live in a two-story building with all the necessary home facilities.
Tap water flows from the faucet, the electricity supply is stable, the gas stove is convenient and practical, and the heater ensures warmth in winter.
In addition, they also have one or more bicycles for daily travel, a sewing machine for mending clothes, and electric fans to provide them with coolness on hot summer days.
Regarding this quality of life, Liu Zhiye believes that, except for the fact that telephones and televisions have not yet been installed in their homes, the villagers' living standards have generally reached the standards of the early 90s after the reform and opening up.
In other words, Liujiazhuang has made the leap from poverty to prosperity and is striding towards a new stage of well-off life.
In just a few years, this land has undergone tremendous changes, and the lives of the villagers have been greatly improved.
Compared to five or six years ago, life today is like a dream and unbelievable.
Some people are always worried about gains and losses, and often worry whether all this is just a short dream, and whether they will return to the starting point once they wake up.
In fact, for Liu Zhiye, the initiator, he never expected that he would lead the villagers on the journey of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich so quickly, and that they would run wildly on this road like a wild horse.
This is the great power brought about by the liberation of thought, which releases endless potential and creativity. On a deeper level, this reflects the limitations of people's thinking in this era.
Liu Zhiye, as a soul from the future, is not burdened by the past and is able to look at the world from a completely new perspective and way of thinking.
His existence is like a fresh breeze that blows away the shackles of inherent concepts and allows thoughts to fly freely. This way of thinking that transcends the times is an important driving force for social progress.

"Zhiye, are you really planning to let Xiaoxian continue to go to school in the village?" Gan Ning frowned slightly and asked a crucial question.
She doesn't quite understand the changes in the village. She always feels that the village's educational resources are limited and the teaching staff is relatively weak, which may impose certain restrictions on Xiaoxian's future development.
Liu Zhiye smiled and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry about it, the education level in Liujiazhuang is much higher now than it was in the past.
Nowadays, the school in our village not only receives full support from the village, but also receives strong support from higher-level educational resources.
Such advantages will enable our education to flourish and our children’s future will be brighter.”
As far as Liu Zhiye could see, the campus area he was about to arrive at was full of vitality. There were many educational institutions here, from kindergartens to primary schools and then to middle schools, forming a complete education system.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the establishment of the No. 2 Middle School branch, which is about to open, will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the education in this area.
In addition, the establishment of institutions such as medical schools, agricultural colleges, adult night schools, and scientific research bases have enriched the educational resources here and met the learning needs of different groups of people.
Just imagine that next year there will be more than 10,000 teachers and students gathered here, living and studying here, creating sparks of knowledge together.
In a few years, when the wind blows, this place may become the best learning environment.
